Service was really bad. From sitting down we waited 25 mins for someone to come by our table and we asked for a vegetarian menu and 2 glasses of water. This took another 15 mins to come and we had to re ask for them again. The food was tasty but I was very very disappointed with the service. We had to ask for more tea, I had to remind them I ordered a glass of champagne, I asked for sweeteners and never received this.

The service wasnt great and we didn't really know who our waiter was. We had a manager that helped us originally but then never really came back consistently. She was friendly and helpful but never had anyone come back and ask for drinks etc. For high tea, they didn't leave tea on the table which was odd. We were told they ran out of tea pots but the restaurant wants that full. We had to hunt down someone just to get tea. The ambiance was amazing and very photo worthy.

We sat by the fireplace in a cozy area off the main dining room. It was beautiful and relaxing after a long day on our feet. The food was delicious! The service started out great but declined after we placed our orders, possibly due to a fire alarm that went off for 15 minutes.

Good afternoon, We are happy to hear you had a wonderful time and felt cosy in our restaurant and can only apologised for the alarm failure we incurred. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Kind regards, The Leaf Team
